I started doing #dungeon23 / #city23 , a TTRPG project to create in small pieces daily, and that has been a big part of what I’m doing on Mastodon. I’ll share parts of that separately, but here’s the other activity from the past week.

I decided to do Dungeon23 this year, to put in some little efforts each day to create something over the course of the year. As much as I love D&D, fantasy and dungeons, I felt like doing something a bit different.
I’m going to piece together an urban fantasy city populated mostly by goblins (because I love goblins) and each day add some aspect of it. I’ve been brainstorming for a couple weeks, so I have some idea where it’s headed. I’m looking forward to surprises.
I’m starting off with Dungeon Year Design Journal by Pandion Games as my framework, and will adapt my approach as I go.
In that document things are summed up as: “When you’re done, perhaps you’ll have a massive interstellar spaceship, a new world to explore, a community of people and their relationships, a city, and yes, even a dungeon. Create anything you want.”
Nintendo Life has a nice article and video celebrating and reinvesting in the great 3DS social feature StreetPass. I have fond memories of using StreetPass with coworkers, friends and passersby. I wish Nintendo had found a way to have it live on with Switch or mobile.
The fourth episode of The Science of Coffee about espresso is fantastic. I enjoyed some espresso with my own simple Staresso pump in the middle of listening and had a new appreciation for the real thing.
The Harvest Season properly reframes as a cottagecore game podcast in this latest episode, formally expanding the scope from farming games. It’s still a great listen and sets up what should be the highlights for the year.
The Cromcast looks at pop culture, literature and poetry through a lens of how it relates to the life and works of Robert E. Howard, and the latest episode focuses on poetry he appreciated.
Back in 2017 I received this cat piece that is a 3D print of a ceramic sculpture made by Matthew Sweet and then hand painted by him. He included it as a reward alongside his album Tomorrow Forever.
